Rolly & Molly




I was "given" as a wedding present for this new couple. They let me choose the concept and the composition. The painting is 40" x 30" , oil. If was a real thrill to paint an adult couple, and to have the pleasure of making new friends through the project.

They look like truly nice people, Linda. You've painted them in such a relaxed moment that shows more about their relationship than a formal wedding pose. I especially like their expressions and the clasped hands. I'm sure they will treasure this.

Thanks

Yes Alexandra they are very nice people, and I'm glad you get that sensation from the painting,as well as a summary of their relationship. That was the goal to see them as honest individuals and a couple.
Thanks Claude for your encouragment, the style I have is the one that suits me best. I hope one can tell they're painted with sincerity, and that they will stand the test of time.
